Soccer Pro Fc that finished in fourth place got a consolation cash prize of N50,000.

For the presentation ceremony, Victor Ikpeba was joined by the Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association, Alhaji Liameed Gafaar, former Super Eagles defender, Ifeanyi Udeze and Nigerian sports journalist turned soccer coach, Aikhoje Ojeikere.

For the individual awards; Ikechukwu Elvis was voted the Most Valuable Player and the Highest Goal Scorer.

The event sponsor, an elated Victor Ikpeba said in his closing remarks, that, he will continue to host the Football Challenge in Obele Odan where the competition started nationwide in 2020. He advised that, the political class in Surulere, especially Honourable Desmond Elliot supported by other prominent individuals in the local government should help erect a befitting and standard artifical turf football pitch at the Obele Odan Community Centre, Fujah, a sports facility which was the first to be built in Surulere in 1956. This will be better than the sandy pitch that had been at the facility since 1956. The sandy pitch discourages good football.”
